it is so much fun photographing other photographers! the nolen family was especially great to work with.  they came all the way from alabama for their shoot.  i am so happy we had such a lovely day for their shoot!  check out erin and corey's photography.

i had so many fingerprints on my lens from this little munchkin!  totally worth it.  i love this shot!

this is one of my all time favorite family photos.

chase is one of grayben's favorite games.

love these two too.

and that is a wrap!

come on out for an afternoon of fun on saturday, september 12th at the healthy kids, happy smiles, family fun festival.  there will be lots of activities for the kiddos and tons of giveaways.  stop by and visit mel and i at our booth.  we will have prizes and a drawing for a free whitebox photo session!

p.s.  dr. mike of lake jeanette orthodontics and pediatric dentistry is eliza's dentist and he rocks!  she loves going to visit dr. mike.  : )

it was hot fun in the summertime.  this shoot was on THE hottest day of the year.  i was worried that my little model man was going to melt, but he did great! 

i am so in love with this kid's hair.  isn't he the cutest?

eliza LOVES to play dress up.  today her elaborate fantasy world included ryder.  this was his first game of dress up!

i just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their support and suggestions on ways to deal with an unhappy baby.  i am thrilled that ryder is starting to turn the corner.  after much distress we finally discovered that we had a bad case of thrush that did not really present itself in the normal way.  we got that cleared up and that helped with all sorts of problems that ryder was having.  he still has reflux and he has a "colicky" time of day in the evenings, but i can handle that!  a couple of hours of crying at night is nothing after you have lived with a baby that cries every waking minute! 

take a look at my little sweetie.  i am so in love with him that i could not pick my favorite expression, so i had to post three pix.  sorry, proud momma disclaimer.  : )

the faces of ryder.

henry is such a sweet little guy.  i love his bassinet.

happiness is kisses!

there is nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby!
